They love to jerk me around at the Bloomington PetSmart. I tried (once again) to get in to work there, and they had just hired a bunch of stockers, after I was assured a position. Fuck 'em right in their petzazz.
Guess I'm gonna party at the house we're moving into in August tonight. So that should be good times.
The Pacers better get their shit together and realize they have Reggie Miller on their team.

I started my day by actually approaching a girl I was interested in for once in my life...which was really a big step for me. I don't know how into me she was, but it doesn't matter. What does matter is that I proved to myself that I could suck it up and do it. Anyway, after that I went to my Shakespeare class and got my final paper back, which I got a B+ on (definitely acceptable). After that my day got a little less exciting, I went on a drive to Monroe Lake with my roommate because it was absolutely gorgeous outside. After that I just sat around and worked on my last paper of the school year, I didn't finish it so I'm going to wake up and do it tomorrow. This weekend should be fun *sarcasm to the extreme*, seeing as how I'll probably spend most of it studying. Oh well, it will be worth it come this time next week. Time for bed....

Went to class today, nothing too special...Just counting down the day until the Pacers are playing in the National Championship *knock on wood*. I'm also counting down the days until I'm 21, which is currently at 23 days and counting.
Only one week of classes left, and four finals until my three month long birthday party. And if the Pacers win the championship I will personally drink myself into the mentality of a five year old...so please feel free to join me if you are in the Bloomington area.
Well, it is time for me to read my final Shakespeare play of the semester.
WOOHOO!

Ow! damnit that hurt! Anyway...
What a beautiful day! holy shit, it's like 82 and not a cloud in the sky. It would have been a better day if I would have been able to go see Less than Jake (I heard New Found Glory and Good Charlotte were going to be there also), but I can't go because I couldn't afford to skip my class. I had a ticket and everything, ahhh!
I think we're going crazy, her left eye is lazy...
Summer's coming, but the homework is starting to stack up. The next couple of weeks are going to be a bitch and a half.
I almost got arrested friday night, which was terrifying...
I got to talk to my brother, who is in Iraq, on saturday morning. That was a huge relief... He's finally getting out of there in 20 days.
hmmm...off to class, should be exciting :/

[12 Mar 2003|12:54am] |
Here's some stuff I wrote for my creative writing class...
Passion
I probably couldn't tell you what happened to me an hour ago, let alone what happened to me last week. I couldn't tell you my mother's maiden name. I couldn't tell you my father's birthday. I don't remember the concert I went to. I don't remember the last state I visited.
I could tell you the first time my father struck me. I could tell you the time of day it was when I took that first innocent drink, the first time a pipe was passed to me, the times when my brain seemed to work faster than my body. I remember the times when rubber hoses and hypodermic needles spelled relief. I remember when a Christmas present would come in powder form.
I'm not an addict. I'm just passionate.

They didn't seem to notice...
He hung on for all he was worth. Looking down was a bad idea, it seemed like a never-ending fall from that height.
"Just pull yourself up," said one friend.
"There's really nothing to it," said the other.
With the last bit of strength he had, he attempted to once again pull himself up. He failed. So he hung for a while longer. He looked up at his friends, wondering if they would help him anytime soon. They seemed content. He didn't want to bother them anyway. So he fell. They didn't seem to notice.

Everything seems to be going pretty well lately...not much to report.

Joey is DUFFMAN! OHHH YEAHHHH!!!
Joey = kinda dirty, I haven't taken a shower yet today

Dude...I'm living in a house next year, with two other friends...A guy and a girl. hey, maybe we can call our place "Two guys, a girl, and a pizza place" Yeah, I'm cool...
I'm driving to Phoenix for spring break, then possibly to San Diego to visit my brother. WOOO!! Super Random Road Trip 2003
George W. Bush is a fuckhole...he's sending my brothers to war for political gain, and no one will cause me to believe other-wise. And it seems that people in other countries feel the same way about George W. as us Americans feel about Saddam Hussein, and every day that goes by, I begin to feel the same way.
Two of my best friends are having a baby...it's kinda fucked up, but oh well, they're excited about. No more drinking binges with those two for a while, they have responsibilities...boooo!!!
The glass of water drank me....

I think I'm getting my dreads done tomorrow...I have to get them done, my hair is extra long and extra poofy (it's actually quite hysterical looking, although I want to look hot, not hysterical). School is going to shit, everything's going to shit, but for some reason I'm surprisingly upbeat. I did just find out that my brothers won't be home for christmas this year for the first time ever, it will be sad. My oldest brother will be spending christmas in Iraq, including the next nine months, which scares the shit out of me.
I finally got rid of my holy shit awful cold that lasted for two weeks. It was no fun, especially being all alone and sick. I missed having my momma to take care of me :)
My car's battery died on me while I was driving home last night, so one moment I had headlights and I could see, and the next I didn't have either of them. I mean honestly, who's battery just dies while you're driving...Oh well, I have come to accept the fact that this is Joey's year of shit.
I HATE living by myself....never do it...anyone!@#@(*$&

311 "All Mixed Up" |
] |
I've aged 20 years over the past couple of months. This semester really couldn't go any worse for me at the moment. I've dropped one class, I'm failing 2 others. I'm desparately trying to find tutors for both subjects. Everything's going wrong. The shit has hit the fan. Fuck me running. I've decided that business isn't my thing, and now I'm completely clueless about what I want to do. I thought about maybe becoming a literature teacher. I love working with kids, and my lit classes have been the only classes throughout the last three semesters that I've actually looked forward to going to.
That's not for sure though. I'm going to go and make an appointment at the CDC (Career Development Center) tomorrow, maybe they can help me out.
The reason that I chose the business major is because I would make alot of money doing it. The last two years have completely opened my eyes about materialism, and how evil it really is. All I want now is just the ability to not have to live from paycheck to paycheck. If I could do that, and be happy with my job...I would feel like I was 19 again.

Well, with over 2 weeks of college under our belts, the house seems be going smoothly. The only difficulties arise when i spend roughly all day walking around without pants, which usually results in everyone yelling at my "disgusting ass" and calling me "an embarassment" when i make weird noises, walk around half-naked, eating peaches from the can and chasing my shots of vodka with apple sauce straight from the jar. All of this usually occurs with some sort of company over, and, like today, i usually don't know them too well. Saturday morning i wasn't allowed outside, for fear that i might cause a scene or expose myself to passersby. ~Kalin Schleuter's Profile for AIM~

Well here it is the first day of class and I miss my first class...way to start off Joey! Evidentally at some point throught the night I decided my class didn't start until 8:30, when in reality it started at 8:00. I could've caught alot of my class, but I refuse to be that guy who is real late to the first day of class, it's sooo embarrassing! So fuck! Oh well, I'm sure all they're doing is looking over the syllabus anyway, I mean hell the class isn't even an hour long. They can't do that much in fifty minutes.
So anyway, I talked to my friend matt the other night...Him and my two other friends (Nick and Krissy, who are the three that went to Cancun with me) are not speaking. It's some really fucked up love triangle that if I go into will take me about an hour to type out. Basically, Nick had been having sex with Matt for about two years, and last year Krissy fell in love with Nick. Nick is not gay...I guess he's just bi. Well, Matt didn't really care about it cause he wasn't in love with Nick...I guess they were just having fun. I don't know, it all gets really fucked up and depressing from there on. Now, Nick and Krissy don't talk to Matt and vice versa. It really sucks, cause these are three of my best friends, and I'm used to hanging out with them together, not separate. I want to try and fix it so bad, but I really don't see a way...I think I'm going to type a letter and mail it to all three of them to show that if they don't seem to wanna work things out, then I do. Having that conversation with Matt was so hard for him, he was crying and shaking hysterically the whole time. I felt so bad for making him talk to me about it. It's sad to me because I know that they are two people that should always be friends, two people that are meant for each other. They have been best friends their whole lives, but it only took them a couple months to stop talking to each other...I guess all good things must come to an end.

For the last couple weeks I've either been getting drunk or sitting on my ass doing nothing...pretty boring really. Classes finally start this monday (yeah, we start on labor day, pretty stupid) and i'm actually kinda ready for them. I've got a new female interest...I'm sure my heart will be ripped out by her sooner or later, because there really hasn't been a time in my life where that hasn't happened to me. Oh well, that's it for now...I'll try not to wait so long before I update this again...

I haven't been updating this much, so here's whatsup with Joey. I have been working overnight shifts for the past ten days straight...it's awful, I go to sleep during the day and wake up during the day. It's like one really huge, and equally awful day.Now I'm on my four day break. I really don't want to go back, but the money is very good. I don't know if I reported this or not, but I got an apartment, it's really nice. Well, that's about it, my friends should be here soon...we're just gonna hang out by the pool and hopefully abuse alcohol...peace

I just got back from the Green Day/Blink 182 concert...What a show! Green Day blew the hell out of Blink though. Although I about lost my mind when travis had his solo spinning around over the crowd like Tommy Lee when he was in Motley Crue. It was so sweet! Also another high point for the show was the fact that they played carousel from cheshire cat. Oh man, what a night. Oh yeah, three girls tonight told me I looked like Justin Timberlake, I don't know how i feel about that. On the one hand millions of hot girls want him, but on the other he is a giant penis. Oh well, I know I'm not a penis, so I guess looking like him isn't too bad.

Hi-Gate "Gonna Work It Out" |

First of all I woke up at 7:45 this morning to go to carb day for the Indy 500...second of all I hate racing...third of all, there's only so many times a car can drive past me and it still be interesting. The only thing fun about this trip was making fun of the extreme white trash that was there, it was so white trash there I could hardly stop laughing. Then I went to work, nothing exciting happened...pretty uneventful day. Now the difficult thing is going to be scrounging up enough money to buy a concert ticket, and drive to detroit and back...oh yeah, and pay for a hotel because the three of my friends are actually coming now.Don't worry if you don't know what I'm rambling about, because the person who needs to know, does.

Yesterday was my birthday and it was kinda boring. I basically sat around all day and did nothing. I then ate dinner, and opened my one present which was a very sweet new stereo, I'm still having fun playing with it. Today I went out and saw the new star wars movie, it was alot better than the first one. Oh yeah, two days ago I got really trashed. I even got worse than I did the other night, I was really drunk and it was alot of fun. I held it in like a champ too. That's about it......
